About


By day, I solve mechatronics problems to accelerate large-scale adoption of drone delivery.

By night, I work on a diverse selection of projects, including custom 3D printers, robotics, machine learning, and financial analysis.

I grew up in China and Canada, but have spent the last decade or so in the United States.

I currently reside in Seattle WA.
